Scenes From My Album. / "Pictures unveil stories words can`t reveal". Poem.

 

Pictures unveil stories words can`t reveal.

If you laugh - then you laugh.

If you cry - then you cry.

Your response should not be shaped by thinking

                                     - just by looking.

Thought is too often muddied by words.

Talking about pictures misses the point.

A picture is music transformed into colour.

Imagination let loose to dance.

Painting is akin to dance.

Brush strokes creating balance and poise.

Movement becomes still in a 

                                         whirl of colour,

The complexities of line and mass.

Portrait of a Dancer.

Adoration of the goddess

The white mysterious moon

Ecstatic dancer

Transformed into shards 

Smashed shards of colour

Frenetic movement

Even the fiercest love

Could not subdue such ecstasy

New Beginnings.

 Exploring a new level of consciousness

Visual Images become the only language

                  that makes sense

  As my world becomes new born again

            before my dazzled eyes.

Dreaming My Life. Poem with Pictures. (Revised).

Dreaming my life,

Reality just those facts that I imagine.

Even when I slept rough at nights

One misty London winter,

(February 64),

Just another boyhood dream,

                                               perhaps?

A drab romantic venture,

A page in my CV to be pored over.

Being an idealist

Reality is always other peoples problem,

Or so my parents told me

To sort my thinking out,

                                        to put me right.

In other words, they thought dreaming plain

                                                             wrong,

Thoroughly Out of kilter.

But I always thought them wrong, to be quite 

                                                              honest;

They lived their lives on the other side of the mirror

Where truth was back to front to what I witnessed.

Being a born idealist

I brusquely walked away to live my dream,

Yet artists are fierce realists in life

However strange their pictures may first seem.

Student Without Borders.

Even in the wilderness

You seem chic,

If I took you to Manhattan

You could demolish

The old Empire State

With a single

                       Laugh,

Here in Hampstead

You are truly state of the art

                                     however,

An image that needs no explanation.
